Every autumn, hundreds of polar bears return to Churchill, Canada, to wait for sea ice to form on Hudson Bay so they can return to hunting for seals. On schedule with this annual migration is International Polar Bear Week, which commences today and focuses on the importance of tackling climate change to ensure polar bears’ survival; scientists predict that as the Arctic continues to warm, two-thirds of the world’s polar bears could disappear within this century. On this special week and a month ahead of COP28, the United Nations’ annual conference on climate change, check out these insights from McKinsey’s Laura Corb, Mekala Krishnan, Tomas Nauclér, Daniel Pacthod, and others, on what’s needed to drive climate action and growth.
